Second half of the members Q/A 

02:25 Q1: Why does your body store fat in certain places? I am smaller above the waist compared to below and if I put on weight it goes to my thighs & bum but when I lose weight it comes off my waist (which can’t get any smaller)! Is there a way to tackle this or is it just accepting that’s how your body has been designed?

06:09 Q2: When should you stop eating at night to achieve best fat loss?

09:06 Q3: What main foods would you recommend you cut out in aid of fat loss, and how many takeaways are acceptable in a month?

21:58 Q4: How to lose fat but keep the strength to train.  I'm thinking reducing the calories but needing the energy to train and work.

27:52 Q5: Is there an ideal weight to aim for? BMI as an indicator seems woolly.  My understanding is that if you have good muscle tone you could be slim but buff and still be considered overweight based on BMI.

34:27 Q6: When dieting for fatloss, is there a preferred time span to work towards before resetting your set point and should you have a diet break?

41:57 Q7: Can you target specific areas of the body to lose fat e.g. stomach, legs, bottom etc?

42:18 Q8: What are your thoughts about the effectiveness of fasting for weight loss? Is it basically just another name for skipping one meal a day?! If you do endorse it for fat loss is there an optimal fasting period? And Does it have other health benefits Thanks! Debs

55:50: Q2

If your body naturally produces creatine then why should you need to supplement it? Would you need to train so many sessions a week to notice a difference in performance if you were to take this as an extra supplement? Do you recommend taking it?

58:38: Q3

What’s the best form to take a supplement in? Tablets/ liquid/ powder?  Optimal time to take a supplements? - mornings/ nights or before/ after with food?   Can you over do it with supplements? Do they cancel each other out if you take everything?  Are some brands of supplements better than others? What should we be looking for to get the best?
